Zach Gill Back In The Day
Back in the day, like my grandma used to say
She was a single mom, raising my mom
With the money she made
Working in a beauty salon
Her husband was gone, and her plans got changed
Still she did the best she could
Back in the day
Cause it's right, and you get so far away
She's talking at the floor
Your granddaddy bought me that piano
After he came home from the war
You know the world keeps getting stranger
But I still feel the same
I love you now like I loved you then
Back in the day
I had a pair of kangaroos
Not the animals, but the tennis shoes
Kept my lunch money in a pocket on the side
I was convinced that the shoes made me jump high
I guess it was because of the name
But I loved the idea just the same
Cause it's right, and you get so far away
Feels more like a dream
Thats your daddy with the mustache, that your mommy
didn't feel
After he came home from the war
You know the world keeps getting stranger
But I still feel the same
I love you now like I loved you then
